This document discusses mapping collision risk for the little bustard with power lines. It describes tracking 31 little bustards using satellite telemetry to collect over 75,000 locations over multiple years. This data was used to create maps showing collision risk during daily movements and migration for breeding, post-breeding, and winter periods. Collision risk was calculated based on population density, distance traveled, and percentage of flights at risk heights near power lines. The maps can help identify hazardous power line sites and inform planning of new power lines.

DEM-based Methods for Flood Risk Mapping at Large ScaleSalvatore Manfreda
This document summarizes a presentation on DEM-based methods for flood risk mapping at large scales. It discusses using simplified geomorphic procedures that rely on digital elevation models and flood hazard maps to delineate flood-prone areas when detailed hydraulic models are not feasible due to lack of data or resources. A geomorphic flood index is presented that uses drainage area, river depth, and elevation differences to classify flood risk. The method has been tested in various locations worldwide and can be implemented through a QGIS plugin to map flood hazard over large ungauged areas in a cost-effective manner. Limitations include not accounting for hydrologic processes or man-made structures but advantages are the low data needs to provide initial flood risk information.

2. Background
• The little bustard is a leking grassland bird
gg g
• Males establish territories in a aggregated
manner and attract females
• Parental care is provided singly by the
female
• Are gregarious during the rest of the year
• During the yearly cycle this species
performs movements towards areas with
greater food availability, depending on
different areas along the yearly cycle
3. Interactions with power lines
• Considered to be one of the most susceptible species to
collision with overhead distribution power lines
• A rough estimate shows that impacts caused by overhead
power lines are lightly to be significant:
• Estimates that overhead power lines cause
mortality to at l
li least 1 5% of the population yearly
1.5% f h l i l
• Highly susceptible to suffer accidents because:
• Gregarious
• Migrate during night
g g g
• Habitat with a high density of power lines
• Vision not optimized to look ahead
4. Usefulness of mapping collision risk
• Mitigation measures used to prevent
collision of birds are mostly related to
the marking of the conductors and
earth cable
• However these measures have
shown not to be very effective,
usually with an efficiency estimated
y y
under 60%
• It is acknowledged that the most
efficient action to prevent collisions
ffi i t ti t t lli i
with power lines is through planning
Need for collision risk maps mainly for structuring power lines
maps,
5. Mapping collision risk - Methods
2 types of collision risk maps:
– Collision risk maps within each season (
p (breeding, p
g, post-
breeding and winter):
• Daily movements at 2 hour-intervals measured from
satellite telemetry
• Focal observations used to:
– C lib t th estimates of 2 h
Calibrate the ti t f hour i t
interval
l
movements derived from satellite telemetry
– Describe the frequency of different types of flights
that were recorded at different heights
– Collision risk map for the migratory movements, usually
between seasons
• U i d t f
Using data from th satellite t ki
the t llit tracking
6. Mapping collision risk - Methods
Satellite telemetry –
study area
• Captures conducted at 2
priority conservation sites:
– Castro Verde – more than
half of the breeding
population within SPAs
and approximately 20% of
the national population
– Vila Fernando – priority
site for breeding with high
density of breeding males
d it f b di l
7. Mapping collision risk - Methods
Satellite telemetry
Satellite tracking
• Took place between April 2009 and August 2011
• For most birds that died we were able recover the PTT
Captures
• Prevent capture miopathy - need to manipulate the birds in
less than 30 min
• Previous training of the team
8. Mapping collision risk - Methods
Satellite telemetry
• Study of the movements of the Little Bustard using satellite
telemetry:
– Microwave solar PTT/GPS 30 gr
– Programmed to obtain a fix every 2 hours (maximum
number of fixes possible)
– During winter and part of autumn and spring the number of
night fixes was reduced to manage the battery
9. Mapping collision risk - Methods
Focal observations
• Field work took place at the sites were the birds were tracked
– Alentejo, Extremadura and Castilla y Leon
j ,

30. Mapping collision risk - conclusions
• Collision risk maps for daily movements and migration
movements are now available and can be used in the planning
of new power lines and apply mitigation measures for existing
ones
• During the breeding season the collision risk is low due to low
frequency of flights at height risk and short flight distances
• The winter season has the highest collision risk, because of
the co-occurrence of larger areas with higher population
density and longer distances flown during that season
• No particular migration corridors were used, however regions
with higher density of migratory movements in the studied
populations were identified
